Brothers Green: EATS! | Okonomiyaki Ramen Recipe

Get the recipe here...

Japanese food and barbecue are two things that should go together more often! So we’ve concocted an open-faced ‘smoked’ pork sandwich on a ramen pancake. You don’t need a smoker to make it—we’ve got a funky trick for simulating the flavor of smoked meat.

Okonomiyaki: In a medium-sized bowl, mix egg, flour, salt, and dashi broth/water. Mix in scallions, cabbage and bacon. Add more dashi broth/water or flour if you need to loosen or thicken up the batter. Add drained ramen noodles.

Heat a griddle or a large sauté pan. Zip with oil and spoon out enough of the batter to make a pancake slightly larger than the slices of pork belly. Cook on both sides until brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel.

Okonomiyaki Sauce: Mix all ingredients; transfer to empty zip bottle if you want.

Pickled Eggs: Cook eggs in simmering water in medium saucepot for exactly 6 minutes. Drain eggs, run under cold water, and gently peel. Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and water in small bowl. Add peeled eggs and let sit, completely submerged, for at least an hour.

Assembly: Take the okonomiyaki patty, top with a slice of the pork belly, and zip with mayo and okonomiyaki sauce. Pile some carrot slices on top. Cut a pickled egg in half and gently place atop the carrots. Sprinkle the whole thing with scallion and dive in!
